We're doing all the things in this series that we haven't been doing in recent playoff memory, including our two runs to the Finals.

Namely, coming from behind in 3rd periods to win.

This looks like an entirely different team, even from the one that manhandled Phoenix. I'm trying really hard not to get ahead of myself, because Game 7's are terrifying. But I like how the Wings managed to come back and win despite not getting any lucky bounces. They worked for each of these goals. I felt like they got lucky in Games 4 and 5, but this was all on them, which makes me think they can really pull this off.

Only start? I know he's taken flak but if it wasn't for Howard we would have been blown out of this series a long time ago. This guy is worth every penny we pay him.

Yeah, for now only 'start'. He's gotta actually win the cup for me to be all in.

He's shown all kinds of toughness in these close elimination games. Don't forget if he makes too many mistakes we're out of the playoffs at any point in the last 3 games. He's money this year for sure. But if he QB's us to a cup he is definitely going to have all the haters off his ass.
